Was cleaning up my scraps and sorting and decided to use my scraps to create a free style abstract like wall hanging. As I got going I would just starting adding things until I got something that appealed to me. I did some appliqué which I created myself from a picture in google images ( the sunflower ) and I had the embroidered butterfly in my stash that I had machine embroidered some time ago. I really liked working on this and it was a create way to get rid of some scraps and to practice simple appliqué. I will definitely do more of this kind of thing in the future. 

Made the decision and created two placemats using the embroidery machine appliques.

Used my embroidery machine today to create these four squares. The embroidery machine did the applique stitching. Now I have to decide what these will become- a table runner, wall hanging or two placemats?

Finished my Dynamic Duo quilt and absolutely love it. I am putting this in my guild's quilt show in November. Here are some pictures.

Finished the Butterfly Table Runner and added a mitred border and some walking foot quilting.

I didn't like the fabric I used for the Triangle Frenzy Table Runner I posted yesterday so I redid it in another fabric which I think is better. Not yet layered and quilted- will do that later today.

Experimented yesterday with a pattern called Triangle Frenzy Square to create this placemat. I am not happy with the fabric I chose for this but the technique is kind of unique- you use a 60 degree triangle ruler to cut your pieces. I am going to try this again with some left over fabric that I have already sewn into a strip.
